The KONOSUKE HD2 Series is one of the most iconic laser knife in modern Japanese cutlery. It features KONOSUKE’s proprietary, undisclosed semi stainless mono steel, combining the sharpness and sharpening response of carbon steel with improved resistance to rust. Hardened to approximately 61 HRC, it offers excellent edge retention without becoming excessively brittle.
The hand finished blade features an extremely thin convex grind, creating an almost effortless cutting feel. On the whetstone, HD2 provides smooth feedback and a clear, responsive feel that is highly appreciated by sharpening enthusiasts.
The lightweight WA handle and carefully balanced construction place the centre of gravity near the pinch grip, allowing precise control with minimal hand fatigue. The spine and choil are polished and rounded for comfortable long term use.
